Team Snowden won the Caulfield Guineas two years ago with Shooting To Win who came off a Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes (1500m) win at Rosehill, the same double the Chris Waller-trained Press Statement (2015) completed last year.

Co-trainer Peter Snowden also took out the Caulfield Guineas with Helmet (2011) and Long John (2013) when he was head trainer for Darley Australia – now Godolphin.

The last Caulfield Guineas winner to come out of the $175,000 Group 3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m) that Sacred Elixir runs in this season was the aforementioned Long John (3rd) in 2013.

Kiwi-trained three-year-olds meanwhile have a strong recent record in the Victoria Derby winning in 2010 (Lion Tamer) and 2011 (Sangster).

The last Caulfield Guineas winner to continue onto the Victoria Derby during the Melbourne Cup Carnival was Whobegotyou (2008) who ran second to Rebel Raider as the beaten $1.75 odds-on favourite.
